Intreresting photo of the 4 bikes together charting the design development over the years (obviously peaking with the 999 :wink: )
You must be one of those people to won't own up to your real age:tongue: I actually think( in a totally unbiased way :wink that the 998 is the most seminal model being the pinnacle of the evolution of Ducatis most sucessful bike ever.
I have yet to go to newcastle, was told there is tons of speed camera's so I have always gave it a miss.
Didn't get to do too much travelling about but did do the run over from Louisburgh past Doo Lough and Fin Lough a couple of times and also on across to Clifden, Tullycross and Roundstone, great roads and really friendly people. For anyone considering going over for a few day's - do it but take some decent waterproofs and get a good suspension setup. Guiness is superb as you would expect and Irish petrol stations are amazing, you can but almost anything from them. Couldn't resist the photo when I rode past and recognised the backdrop. Bike was faultless and did 1300 miles without even the tiniest problem.:smile:
